I could've sworn I heard the first few intro notes to "safety dance" as I was reading this lol

@@JohnRohoboth you know, an intelligent person uses words to lift others up, not tear them down in such an ignorant, rude way. You only make yourself look like the dumbass...couldn't resist since this was especially offensive & childish.

I chouldnt agree with u more

That is an awesome comment, haha!

Haha that's weird just watched one of those vids yesterday 😂

lol I see we are on the same video circuit.

We got a whirlpool

Cringe

And here come people in rafts 👁️🚤👁️

People that are in the middle of the be like 🤭🌊 ⚰️

What if you’re deaf?

@@lindaj5492 Universal sign. I guess take note of the people running.

I'm assuming that's what it used to look like before they damned it up

Michael H - Same here...

You not at the beach

@@dougdreyer4962 Don't remind me.

That's a Barbie and friends raft.

Always nice seeing comments from people that knows the area and their history of the area. I do the full river ever year for about 20 years now. Going again in a couple weeks!

@@raymondcaylor6292 yeah I know about the center. That was messed up.

We still call it the blue hole and locals still go swimming there to this day.

I would like to see how they will do this with the LA River when the Olympics come here in 2028.

Thank you -- I though parts looked manufactured/not natural!

Same, I was thinking oh look at that little creek, the waters gonna rise a couple of inches or something nobody’s harmed, but then I saw the rafters and I was like “Woah, that’s a big river!”

Me too! Seeing people next to the river in comparison put things in perspective

Yeah the proportions are misleading for sure

Didn't see it until you pointed it out.

You are middle beast at this day. 333

Well it was not raging river at end. But from dead almost dried river to well just normal river

Right me and my cousins would swim in that like nothing lol had lots of spots like this in texas that looked just like it did after it all filled up and was flowing. ​some of the best times of my life.@@KumarNikhils

Why did you even mention this when this is not even a religious video @@jesushasgivenyouall.repent9986

Good one!

I'm still puzzle how do they work out ads watch a nuclear explosion and I get ads for toys

That's what I thought the siren sounds like an old fashioned alien ship noise

I used to live with people like that. They once left at 4am to get somewhere in time for the dam release, the crazy fools.

Couldn't agree more. Shame they couldn't let spectators enjoy the spectacle naturally.

@@bebajoro77 oh you're one of those guys.

@@bebajoro77 it’s not natural, it’s a man made dam

They're actually releasing the water specifically for the boats. They used to keep the river permanently diverted to generate power, and now they have an agreement with boaters to release the water on certain days.

Ha ha ha ha!!!! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha 😜✌️

You had me at young lad!🤣🤣

😂🤣😅

So you've found the ultimate auto-flush toilet. Good on you Jim :D

That's a crappy story

As Meatloaf sang years ago, "You took the words right out of my mouth." I remember a time when ADULTS TAUGHT THEIR CHILDREN, "Be patient...wait a minute, it'll happen." Now it's all, "Instant gratification takes TOO LONG!" I mean, how does one FAIL TO SEE the majesty and sheer force and power that nature can deliver in a matter of seconds?

Love keyboard warrior :)

And by doing so they missed out on how beautiful the landscape is.

​@Robert Gardea If giving bad critics is the only thing you're capable of, I pity you.

@Robert Gardea Wow...were you cheated. LOL I'm not a nerdie one. I'm just not one to say, "Eh, this takes too long." I'm an APPRECIATIVE one. THAT, I will own. As a recovering meth addict who sped through TEN YEARS of his life, I have finally learned how to slow down and enjoy life as it happens, in its own time. I carry no shame in that. Lastly, having no children, but having been around many, I learned that when you say things dramatically and build the suspense (that's the actor in me), the children are mesmerized and appreciate the outcome that much more. Trust me on this one...I'm an old man, but people never believe my age when I tell them. I don't act it, I don't look it, and I refuse to make myself old and dead before it's time.

No one.

Apparently 36 ‘noones’ at current count.

@@georgevassey3729 up to 85 no one's now George

92 and counting

These are whitewater professionals. They read the water. They work this river. They are the ones who take you all down the gnarly shit you're too afraid to step into yourselves. I used to be a raft guide/class 4 kayak instructor. We know what we're doing. I promise. I used to wait at the the top of control release dams to get the "pillow" of water that came out, then we would ride it down, making laps over and over until the water ran out. For those of you confused and alarmed by this, it's okay. Stay in your house, behind your keyboard, drinking your soda, and eating your garbage, and let the professianls do their thing. P.S. if I made any grammatical errors you feel the need to call me out on.........suck it.......👍🤷🏼‍♀️💩🖕. WHITEWATER!!!!!!!!

@David Smith thank you for allowing me to hear your beautiful childhood memory. Bless you💕

Soothing is a very interesting way to describe class 3&4 rapids lol

So what happened to the people in the boats? And why were they even on the water? You turned away at the wrong time

@@yungsweatshop8797 If you think those are class 3 and 4 rapids. Then you have never been on class 3 or 4 rapids. From what I saw in the video, they are class 2 at best. I could easily canoe thru there with no real fear.

Or set the playback speed to 2x.

@Canadian Guy Were you trying to spell moron or someones last name?

Think I'll just wait for the grass to grow.

Chill and enjoy that family struggling to get to shore before the water hits........ya so enjoyable........

Okay, this was unexpected. I pray someone does not use this as a flash flood.

thins out the population....

**white bubbles are air** Wow. Never knew that.

@@kim79710 the irony.

So the air bubbles kill you...?? Sounds like you have alot of experience with white water. You are correct about people underestimating the power of water though

@@kim79710 And YOU'RE a stupid idiot!

Really

@@eriecanalboatcompany Really!

Because they went rafting?

What river is this? It looks like the Ocoee.

@@rightwing66 it is

The Olympic section

I hear ya! I lived in Atlanta during my college years (2007 - 2012) and I would occasionally take the bus up from Georgia Tech to the Roswell section of the Chattahoochee, and of course, near there is Vickery Creek and the abandoned masonry dam from one of the old mills. When I was in college, it was just this wild little secret, a ruin in the woods, surrounded by trees and boulders, available for you to discover if you ventured far enough over the hills. Now they've got all these ridiculous observation towers and bridges and parking lots and other overdevelopment. When I saw it again the weekend of an interview at Delta Airlines, I was disappointed at how crowded it now is. I get that they want as many people to use the park as possible, but it's a real shame.

Ridiculous

Well at least I’d be able to fill up my water bottle.

Story of my life

Knew which river this was immediately. I miss TN

Do they periodically open gates to release water or is it rain from up river????

@@DJ-xr5wb they open up the gates at certain times the year for kayakers and when there is flooding.

Same, I live in Delano.

Sheba Coppit you’re very lucky 🍀

Where is this? Just wondering... very beautiful 😃

This is one of many rivers in British columbia Canada to go Kayaking kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p9qXodx705-4e5s.html

Glad I found your post! I was thinking that this was where this was so I scrolled down to see if I was looking at the same place!

Yeah this isn't British Columbia, look at the description. That being said, if you want a more "wild" experience and to "challenge nature", you might want to head to BC, or at least over to the Chattooga river about two hours east of here for some natural class V rapids. The Ocoee river here was basically terraformed for the purpose of creating a semi-controlled course for the Olympics in '96. Oh, and Murphy might be an ok place to stay, but if you're not white, I wouldn't recommend doing too much exploring around there, as it's one of the prime racist areas in the southeast.

They do have flashing lights.

Don't worry, you haven't shocked any engineers with your question to where they are smacking their foreheads and saying, "Oh, geez! We didn't think of that! I knew we forgot SOMETHING!" I'm a Civil Engineer and I designed several dams and their downstream infrastructure. We definitely thought of all of that kind of thing and a whole lot of things that most all people don't think of. Flashing lights, signs, and in most of these locations, Game and Fish Commission officers or Forestry Service Officers, or Park Rangers are given notice when water is going to be released quite a bit ahead of time so they cam make their way over to the warned area location and observe if any people are in or around the river and they approach them and communicate to them that they need to get out of the river and move away from its banks, especially if the release is going to be particularly voluminous. So there are plans, alert types, and evacuation protocols in place that take into consideration all types of people, animals, unusual debris, and rescue personnel on csll in case they are needed. It's all taken care of. But your question is a good one. It shows you think about things that a lot of people just don't.

That's funny, I suspect it was March everywhere else too......

interlectual....yeah

Thought I was the only one who noticed

I'm in western mass ivebeen there

Longer ??? Are you out of your mind 🤪? This diarrhea is already 2 hours too long. Why don’t you just watch paint dry you moron. You better get going the short bus awaits

Actually, it's in the state above my state 😬 sorry, Patrick County, VA

I got one at godzilla and humongous. Same title 2

We live in walhalla

And dam No.4 will be an underwater gathering of thrill-seeking rafters smart-filming their last--but unmissable ! --trip to a breathless bottom.

Misty Forests that's very poetic, well suited for this beautiful scene.

Misty Forests n7

I came for the title, I stayed waiting for the water.

Why can't it be black

@Dave C Having kayaked that river I and say you obviously don't know the power of moving water(and it looks a lot different from ground level).

The caption started off with WARNING! Hardy inviting to enjoy nature.

Wut? This river is dammed up for the benefit of the tourism industry.

Yeah, i'm not sure this is happening "naturally"...

This was NOT a natural event. It was totally man made.

wexfordam.....Shut up you little dweeb of a book worm!!

Kinda like when I have to go pee. If I don't go quickly, it will go somewhere nobody likes.

Yeah, his tone def gives a feeling that what he is saying is the most important thing ever spoken haha. Not sure about creepy. Now, if the loudspeaker starts playing the banjo music from "Deliverance" and the same guy starts screaming "Squeal like a pig!" that would be creepy. And probably hilarious...

Not exactly - or anything like a “wilderness” area. Not with a campground, highway with cars going by, people in flip flops, a restaurant, etc. all in view.

@@binskibinski1418 I agree with you. I should have looked a little harder.

True. One day I was camping in the wilderness when a fake bird in a tree ahead uttered with a german intonation: "please identify immediatly".
